Hurst was considered a first-round talent, but slid for reasons including an irregular heartbeat. He’s vowed to use the snub as motivation, as players picked places other than first overall tend to do.

Ateman had a strong career at Oklahoma State, averaging 16.9 yards per catch in college.

Michigan, Harvard, and the NFL checked out Hurst….he was deemed fit enough to play the game he’s been playing since he was a kid. I think the guy is going to be a beast and will unlock the rest of the Oakland pressure on opposing QBs. Good luck Hurst and Ateman.
